Attention folks, the makers of Project K dropped the teaser of the film on Friday morning. The film's teaser was released at the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). Also, did we mention that the film is now called Kalki 2898 - AD. The teaser gives us a glimpse of a dystopian world that is engulfed in darkness. The force that can change the world is represented by the likes of Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan. The text "When the world is taken over by darkness, a force will rise," flashes on screen and indicates that Prabhas and his squad are here to change the world and for better. The end to the darkness begins with them and it is called, drumrolls...'Project K." We can't wait for these onscreen heroes to take over darkness. All we can say is, may the force be with you.
